A Hindi release in 2026 ran its entire final promo push through Instagram stories. Cast reactions from the trailer launch, a choreographer walking through a hook step, three days of city-by-city footage, a producer's voice note the morning tickets opened. Roughly forty story frames across eight accounts. None of it survived the week. Stories expire in 24 hours, and whoever was supposed to archive them was busy running the campaign. This is now a routine problem for anyone who tracks film publicity, runs a fan account, or writes about box office and needs the promo trail intact after the fact. Why highlights do not solve it Highlights look like the answer. Save a story to a highlight and it stays on the profile indefinitely. Two things break that. First, only the account owner can create a highlight, so a fan page or a trade writer has no control over what gets kept. Second, highlights get pruned. Publicity teams routinely clear them out between releases so a profile does not carry last film's campaign into the next one's. Content that sat in a highlight for three months can vanish in an afternoon. The archiving habit that works Pull the frames the day they go up. Not the week they go up, the day. An instagram story saver takes a username, loads whatever stories are currently live on that profile, and lets you save the frames as files. Video comes down as MP4, stills as JPG. No login involved, which matters if you are monitoring twenty accounts and have no business signing into any of them. Three tools handle this. Ranked by how little they get in the way: 1. FastDL. Loads the full current set on one screen, saves at whatever resolution was uploaded, no account prompt. 2. iGram. Works, though it wants the link pasted a second time often enough to notice across a long session. 3. StoriesIG. Gets the frames, then spends your patience on redirect tabs. The ordering matters less than the habit. Any of them beats discovering on Thursday that Monday's content is gone. What the resolution actually depends on The file you get back matches what was uploaded. Instagram stories cap at 1080 by 1920 pixels, and a lot of promo content lands well below that because it was exported for speed on a launch day. If a frame came out of a phone editing app at 720p, that is what saves. Worth knowing before you blame the tool. Nothing reconstructs pixels that were never uploaded. The line that matters for anyone publishing Archiving a public story for reference is one thing. Republishing it is another, and which tool pulled the file makes no difference to that distinction. Promo material is usually intended to travel, which is why studios put it on Instagram in the first place. That still is not a licence to lift a frame and post it as original content. Credit the account. And if you are using footage rather than a still, check what is playing underneath it: a promo clip cut over a released track carries the label's rights as well as the studio's, and the label is the party that files complaints. This trips up fan pages more than trade coverage, because fan pages are the ones reposting video. A still frame with a credit line rarely causes anyone trouble. A 15-second clip with a chart single over it can. Restricted profiles sit outside all of this. Where an account has closed its audience, those stories are not served to outsiders at all, and any site advertising otherwise wants your password rather than your traffic. What to actually set up If you cover releases regularly, the workflow is dull and takes four minutes a day. Open the saver, run through your list of tracked accounts, pull anything new, drop it in a folder named for the film. By release week you have the entire promo trail sitting locally while everyone else is searching for a reel that expired on Tuesday. Two details make the difference between a folder that helps later and one that does not. Name files by date and account at the moment you save them, not afterwards. A folder of forty clips called video_1 through video_40 is almost as useless as no folder. Two seconds of typing while the download completes turns it into something searchable in six months. And pull the whole set, including the frames that look like nothing. Story sequences make sense as sequences: the frame that seemed like filler on Monday often turns out to be the first time a release date appeared on screen. Storage is cheap and judgment on launch day is bad. The accounts that keep this discipline end up with better archives than the studios whose campaigns they are tracking, which says something about how the industry treats its own material.

Chad Gable vs. Rey Mysterio for the Intercontinental Championship is officially set for tomorrow night's WWE Raw. The title match headlines a stacked card that also features tournament action, a Roman Reigns appearance, and fallout from the Jey Uso–Solo Sikoa stipulation match. WWE Raw General Manager Adam Pearce announced it in an Instagram post ahead of Monday's show, which airs live from the KeyBank Centre in Buffalo, New York. The match itself came together after Gable won the Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam by defeating Penta. On the following episode of Raw, Gable approached Mysterio backstage, calling him "the greatest luchador of all time" and offering him the first shot at the title. Mysterio, currently balancing in-ring competition with his role as General Manager of AAA, accepted the challenge on the spot, and Gable said he'd get Pearce to make it official — which he has now done for tomorrow's show. It marks just the second-ever singles meeting between the two, with their first coming back in October 2022. The rest of the card is loaded around the ongoing World Heavyweight Championship picture. Two first-round matches in the No. 1 Contender's Tournament are set, with Dragon Lee taking on El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr., and Rey Fenix squaring off against El Fiscal, as WWE continues narrowing the field for a future shot at Roman Reigns' title. Reigns himself is advertised to appear on the show. Also on tap is a women's division matchup between Sol Ruca and Lyra Valkyria, along with continued fallout from Jey Uso's win over Solo Sikoa, as the Bloodline storyline moves toward Reigns' return.

Roxanne Perez has opened up about her transformation from a young WWE hopeful into one of the company's most confident villains, revealing how her mindset completely changed after she stopped looking up to the stars she once idolized. Perez discussed her character evolution during an appearance on Not Sam Wrestling Live, where she explained that she was once simply happy to be a WWE Superstar. However, she eventually realized that admiring other wrestlers would not help her achieve the level of success she wanted. “I went from being someone that was just happy to be here. I was just like all of you guys sitting in the crowd, just hoping to be a WWE Superstar one day, and looking up to all the wrestlers,” Perez said. Perez specifically mentioned AJ Lee, Bayley and Paige as wrestlers she looked up to when she was younger. Her attitude toward those stars has changed considerably, though, as she now sees herself as someone capable of surpassing the women who inspired her. That change in mindset has also played a major role in her current heel character. Rather than trying to win over the WWE Universe, Perez has embraced her arrogance and believes she is already operating at a different level. “This is the best I've ever felt in my entire career,” Perez said. Her transformation has coincided with her run as a member of The Judgment Day. Perez joined the faction in 2025 and became part of its women's division alongside Raquel Rodriguez. The group has given her a prominent role on WWE's main roster, and Perez believes it has helped her avoid becoming another young talent who gets lost in the shuffle. Perez also defended The Judgment Day against the constant speculation that the faction is heading toward a breakup. She argued that the group's internal disagreements should not be confused with a lack of loyalty. “Families fight, right? Brothers, sisters, parents, kids, we all fight. But that doesn't mean that we won't stick by each other when we need each other,” Perez explained. “We're family. And a win for one is a win for all.” Perez's confidence has now reached the point where she is openly challenging WWE legends. She pointed to her victories over Nikki Bella and made it clear that she wants to face more established names. “Bring me all the legends. Bring them all,” Perez declared. One legend in particular remains on Perez's radar: AJ Lee. When asked why she did not include Lee among the wrestlers she believes she is better than, Perez made it clear that she wants an opportunity to prove herself against the former Divas Champion. “I need my match and then I can prove that I am better than her,” Perez said. Perez's comments show just how far her character has evolved. The wrestler who once watched AJ Lee and other WWE stars as heroes now wants to stand across the ring from them and prove she has surpassed them. Despite her current position in The Judgment Day and her growing confidence, Perez insists that fans have not seen her best yet. “This is not my peak at all. I have so much more to show you guys,” she said.

Rey Mysterio has explained why Dominik Mysterio was not included in the ongoing tournament that will determine who gets a chance to face Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship in Mexico City. The tournament features wrestlers from WWE's RAW and SmackDown brands, along with stars from AAA. Rey, who is the general manager of AAA, helped set up the tournament to give young luchadores a chance to compete for a major opportunity. Dominik Mysterio was one name that stood out as an omission. He is currently the AAA Mega Champion, but Rey explained that his son does not have the same lucha libre training as the wrestlers taking part in the tournament. “Well, I could say for one, he has never trained lucha libre,” Rey said. “He could say he's the best luchador. Yeah, he does a couple moves here and there, but his training was always on the American side. He trained in Tampa, he trained in Canada, and he trained, you know, in San Diego.” Rey said that being a luchador means more than simply using lucha libre moves. He believes the training and experience that wrestlers go through from the beginning are an important part of becoming a luchador. “So when you speak about luchadores, you know, born and raised, that's your bread and butter. That's where you began. That's where you got your ass kicked,” Rey explained. “Every time you stepped into the ring, they made you sweat, you threw up, you wanted to get out of the ring, but no, they pulled you back in.” Rey also made it clear that he and Dominik have different views on what makes someone a luchador. “I think my concept of a luchador is completely different from Dom's concept,” Rey said. The interviewer then asked Rey if he was basically saying that Dominik was a fraud. Rey did not agree with that description. “I never said he was a fraud,” Rey said. “But I don't consider him. Let's just say this. I don't consider him the greatest luchador of all time.” The comments are interesting because Dominik has become a major WWE star and is currently the AAA Mega Champion. However, Rey believes that his son's wrestling training is different from that of wrestlers who were trained in lucha libre from the start. For Rey, the tournament is about giving wrestlers with a lucha libre background the chance to prove themselves. That is why he believes Dominik was not the right fit for this particular competition. Rey and Dominik have had a complicated relationship on WWE television in recent years, but this time the issue is not about their family history. Rey was simply explaining why he believes Dominik does not meet his definition of a luchador.

Paige and Nikki Bella’s feud has become increasingly personal following a shocking betrayal at SummerSlam. At SummerSlam, Paige teamed with Nikki and Brie Bella against Fatal Influence in a six-woman tag team match. Fatal Influence won when Jacy Jayne pinned Paige with the Rolling Encore. After the match, Paige appeared to believe the situation was over and raised the Bellas’ arms in a show of respect. Instead, Nikki attacked Paige from behind. Brie Bella then joined Nikki in the assault before Nikki hit Paige with the Rack Attack 2.0. Nikki made it clear that she believed Paige had taken her place, telling her not to take her spot again. The betrayal stemmed from a much longer story. Nikki and Brie had originally returned to WWE with the goal of capturing the Women's Tag Team Championship. However, when Nikki was unable to compete at WrestleMania 42, Paige returned to WWE and replaced her, teaming with Brie to win the titles. The Bellas later lost those championships to Fatal Influence, further increasing Nikki’s resentment toward Paige. At SummerSlam, that tension finally boiled over into the post-match attack. Nikki subsequently explained that she blamed Paige for the tag team title loss and believed Paige had taken advantage of her opportunity with Brie. She also threatened to make Paige’s remaining WWE career miserable. In an EXCLUSIVE(WWE's YouTube Channel), Paige sets the record straight for Nikki Bella following this week's SmackDown episode, accusing Nikki of trying to change the story surrounding their relationship. “Nikki, since you decided to try and rewrite history last week, let's set the record straight.” Paige rejected Nikki’s claim that she was responsible for revitalizing her career, pointing out that she spent eight years working to make her WWE return happen. She also strongly denied Nikki’s accusation that she had been using the Bella family for her own benefit. Paige explained that Nikki was actually the person who contacted her before WrestleMania and asked her to help Brie. “Did I come begging to be an honorary Bella for my big return after being gone for nearly a decade? No, you called me.” Paige said she agreed because she cared about Brie and wanted to be there for her. She also accused Nikki of not being there for her sister when Brie needed her. The SummerSlam loss became another major point of disagreement between them. Nikki blamed Paige for what happened, but Paige argued that she had actually saved Nikki from being pinned twice during the match. Paige then suggested that Nikki’s actions were not really about protecting Brie. Instead, she believes Nikki is angry because Paige has taken the position Nikki once held alongside her sister. “You act like you're doing this to support your sister, but really, you're just jealous that someone else took your spot, and did it.” Despite Nikki’s warning that she would make her career miserable, Paige refused to back down. She made it clear that she believes she has earned her place in WWE and intends to remain there. “This is my house, and I plan on being here for a very long time.”

It has been widely expected, ever since The New Day decided to leave WWE after turning down a 50% pay cut to stay, that Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods would be winding up in AEW. The Young Bucks have wanted to do a program with them for years — and now, months after the split, that dream match feels closer than ever. The New Day's exit wasn't a typical release — it was the result of a stand. Kingston and Woods had signed five-year contract extensions with WWE back in 2025, doing so without even shopping around for offers from AEW or other promotions, widely seen as a genuine show of loyalty to the company. Just a year later, TKO came back and asked them to restructure those deals at a reduced rate, reportedly giving them only two days to decide. Both men chose to walk instead, leaving millions on the table from the remaining four years of their contracts. The New Day's situation wasn't isolated. Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer confirmed reports that at least one major-name WWE wrestler agreed to a 50% pay cut around the same time, with sources noting the wrestlers being targeted were often those earning well into seven figures — talent who "simply couldn't earn anywhere near $1 million elsewhere," limiting their leverage to push back. Multiple reports indicate the number of wrestlers approached about cuts was under half a dozen, largely veterans, including some recovering from injury, whom the company reportedly would have released outright had they refused. How WWE handled the departure reportedly stung people behind the scenes. The company quietly moved both Kingston and Woods to the alumni section of its website without any public acknowledgment of their contributions — no farewell, no statement. One WWE source told Fightful Select they were "disgusted" by the lack of recognition. A joint statement marking the departure had apparently been planned internally but never materialized. Interest from AEW's side has been an open secret. Multiple people within the company reportedly pushed for New Day to be signed, with insiders noting frustration among talent over how WWE handled the exits of players like New Day and Santos Escobar — wrestlers who'd signed extensions in good faith within the past year. The Young Bucks haven't been subtle about their excitement. AEW's Dynamite has featured Matt and Nick Jackson wearing light blue shirts with pink-and-white accents — an unmistakable nod to New Day's classic color scheme. Matt Jackson has since confirmed publicly that a Young Bucks vs. New Day dream match is "at play," calling it something he'd "counted off as a possibility" until now. As of mid-August 2026, the deal isn't officially confirmed, but nearly every signal points the same direction. The New Day's 90-day non-compete clause was expected to expire around the start of August, with some reports suggesting a debut as early as AEW Collision on August 1, or shortly after SummerSlam if not. Speculation continues to swirl around a possible arrival tied to a Young Bucks/Christian Cage & Adam Copeland trios angle, with several outlets floating AEW All In: London at Wembley Stadium as a potential landing spot for the big reveal.

WWE remains optimistic about Chelsea Green's injury status, according to WrestleVotes on Fightful Select Radio, and she is not expected to be removed from television or stripped of the Interim Women's Championship. The update comes after a difficult week for Green. She won the Interim WWE Women's Championship at SummerSlam 2026 on August 3, outlasting Charlotte Flair, Tiffany Stratton, Lash Legend, and Jade Cargill in a ladder match. The interim title was created after then-champion Rhea Ripley was ruled out with a torn meniscus that required surgery, opening the door for Green to finally capture her first world championship. Just days later, on the August 7 episode of SmackDown, Green teamed with Stratton in a Women's Tag Team Championship match against Fatal Influence's Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid. Green ended up taking the pinfall after Henley and Reid hit their Rolling Encore finishing move, and it was during that sequence that she suffered a broken orbital bone. Lash Legend and Nia Jax also attacked Green and Stratton after the match. Green addressed the injury herself in a video posted to Instagram, saying the situation felt different from injuries she'd played through before and that she was taking things day by day while processing the head trauma. It marked yet another setback in a rough stretch for Green, who has also dealt with a heart issue over the past year that required hospitalization and a medical procedure. The injury drew reactions from a wide range of names across wrestling, including Nikki Bella, Brie Bella, and Natalya, along with AEW stars such as Sammy Guevara and Thunder Rosa, as well as Green's real-life husband, Matt Cardona. The exact recovery timetable remains unclear, but WWE's stated optimism suggests the company does not currently see the injury as one that will force Green off television or require the title to be vacated. Given that Green only just captured her first world championship, WWE appears intent on letting her hold onto the title through her recovery rather than turning to a second interim reign so soon after the first.

Bayley's latest social media post reportedly did not land well with everyone backstage in WWE, according to WrestleVotes on Fightful Select. The video featured highlights from Bayley training at various locations alongside different wrestlers, including AEW star Mercedes Moné, and was set to the song "All In" by The Grouch & Eligh. She captioned the post "all or nothing, baby." Some WWE backstage personnel reportedly viewed the post as "eyebrow-raising." The reaction makes sense given the timing. Bayley's WWE contract is reportedly set to expire in October, and she has not wrestled for the company since a July 26 live event in Bakersfield, California. Her last televised appearance came at Saturday Night's Main Event on July 18 at Madison Square Garden, where she lost to Lyra Valkyria, who then attacked her after the match and later declared on Raw that she had run Bayley out of the company. Against that backdrop, a training video featuring an AEW star, set to a song sharing its name with AEW's biggest pay-per-view, read to many as more than a coincidence. AEW's All In event takes place at Wembley Stadium in London on August 30, and Bayley's "all or nothing" caption also echoes the branding of AEW's Double or Nothing event. Mercedes Moné, a longtime friend of Bayley's dating back to their time together in WWE's Four Horsewomen storyline with Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair, has added to the speculation herself, having previously shared a fan-made graphic teasing a possible match between the two at AEW WrestleDream. Even so, people close to the situation inside AEW reportedly aren't convinced anything is imminent. Bryan Alvarez said on Wrestling Observer Live that sources within AEW are just as confused by the teasing as everyone else, and that Bayley is believed to remain under WWE contract through around January once any additional time the company tacks on is factored in, making a Bayley-Moné AEW match unlikely in the near term. Dave Meltzer has reported separately that Bayley has not signed a new WWE contract and currently has a decision to make about her future. Nothing has been confirmed by Bayley, WWE, or AEW, but between the backstage reaction, the contract uncertainty, and the ongoing storyline with Valkyria, her long-term status with the company remains one of wrestling's more closely watched situations heading into the fall.

WWE is expected to expand SmackDown back to a three-hour format beginning in January 2027, with the current target date for the switch set at January 8, according to WrestleVotes on Fightful Select. This isn't the first time the Blue Brand has gone through this. SmackDown first expanded from two hours to three hours on January 3, 2025, shortly after moving from Fox to USA Network. That run lasted roughly six months before the show reverted back down to two hours in July 2025, with insiders reportedly unhappy that the extra hour was dragging down show quality. SmackDown then expanded back to three hours again on January 2, 2026, starting with an episode from Buffalo, New York, before settling into what now looks like an annual pattern — three hours from January through June, two hours from July through December. If the January 8, 2027 report holds, it would mark the third straight year SmackDown has expanded to three hours to open the calendar, continuing the same six-month cycle WWE has now used twice already. Raw has already run as a three-hour show for years, so this change doesn't introduce anything new to WWE's weekly programming overall. What stands out is that SmackDown still hasn't committed to the longer format full-time the way Raw has, instead treating it as a seasonal adjustment tied to how the network broadcast deal with USA is structured season to season. There's also been genuine internal disagreement over whether the extra hour is worth it. Multiple reports from inside WWE have indicated that some people within the company aren't fans of the three-hour SmackDown format, citing a noticeable dip in show quality whenever the extra hour gets added, with matches and segments often padded out just to fill time rather than because the story called for it. At the same time, a three-hour show gives WWE more room to spotlight a deeper roster, build out midcard storylines, and give NXT call-ups a real platform, which has mattered more recently as WWE has pushed several new names up to the SmackDown roster and refreshed the show's presentation. Nothing is official yet, and WWE has not confirmed the change directly, but if the January 8, 2027 target holds, it would confirm the three-hour SmackDown format has become a fixed part of how WWE plans its television calendar each year rather than the one-time experiment it looked like back in January 2025.

Amazing Red has revealed how a horrific injury during a WWE 2K motion-capture session derailed what he believed was his biggest chance to become a WWE Superstar. The injury happened just one week before the 2016 Cruiserweight Classic, where Red was expected to compete and hoped to finally earn a WWE contract. While speaking with Chris Van Vliet, Red explained that WWE 2K had brought him in to perform several moves for the video game. One of them was his Spiral Tap, which he was asked to perform repeatedly. After already doing the move seven or eight times, Red said he felt he should stop, but was asked to do it one more time. “Can you just do one more, man? I'm so sorry. Can you do just one more and we're going to have you do this and then we'll go into a whole set of moves after this.” Red agreed, but the next attempt went horribly wrong. He explained that two crash pads had been placed underneath him, with a gap where they connected. “For some reason, I just jump and everything just blacks out for me. And I don't know where I'm at. So I just jump, instant darkness. And I hear this. And I wake up and I'm on the crash pads and my leg is backwards.” Red said his foot had gone between the two crash pads during the flip. He initially felt nothing, but Loki quickly realized how serious the injury was and shouted for help. “He broke his leg.” Red said that once his leg was moved, the pain hit him immediately. He described the moment as particularly devastating because he believed the WWE 2K project and Cruiserweight Classic were finally going to lead to his WWE breakthrough. The Cruiserweight Classic was scheduled to begin the following week, meaning the injury came at the worst possible time. Red was later told that WWE could potentially plan a second season of the tournament, but that opportunity never came.

The Undertaker has revealed that he nearly got into a physical fight with Vince McMahon after the former WWE Chairman told him to “man up” during a difficult period in his personal life. Speaking on his Six Feet Under podcast, The Undertaker recalled visiting McMahon's office toward the end of his WWE career. He was only working a few times a year at the time and had been dealing with several issues outside of wrestling. The Undertaker said he went to McMahon simply to say hello and began opening up about what he was going through. However, McMahon responded with some blunt advice. “He looks at me, and it was as straight a face as it could be, he goes, ‘You know what, Mark? I really think you need to quit feeling sorry for yourself.’” The Undertaker said McMahon then added, “Yeah, you're feeling sorry for yourself. Man up.” The comment immediately angered The Undertaker, who felt he was speaking to McMahon as a friend rather than as his boss. “There was a sense of rage that come over me at that moment, like, man I thought me and you are friends,” The Undertaker recalled. The WWE Hall of Famer then warned McMahon that the conversation could have turned physical. “I did tell him, I was like, ‘You know, if you were anybody else, anybody else, we'd probably be fighting right now. No one talks to me like that. You don't talk to me like that.’” McMahon, however, refused to back down. “Well, damn it, somebody needs to,” McMahon replied. The Undertaker eventually walked away from the conversation, but after calming down, he realized McMahon had actually given him the reality check he needed. “It kind of dawns on me after I calmed down, like, you know what? Get your shit together, handle your business,” he said. The two eventually laughed about the incident, with The Undertaker later admitting to McMahon that he still wished he had fought him but agreed that McMahon had been right. Looking back, The Undertaker said McMahon knew when he needed tough love and when he needed support. “He knew when I needed a foot in the ass, or, you know, whether I needed a hug,” The Undertaker said. “He was always pretty much right on all of that stuff.”

The Undertaker has revealed that Vince McMahon once admitted he was wrong about a major creative decision involving the first-ever Punjabi Prison Match. The Punjabi Prison Match made its WWE debut at The Great American Bash 2006, where The Undertaker was originally scheduled to face The Great Khali. However, Big Show replaced Khali in the match after an angle involving the two giants led to WWE changing the bout. Undertaker ultimately defeated Big Show after escaping the massive bamboo structure. Twenty years after the match, The Undertaker recalled the creative disagreement he had with McMahon while discussing the bout on his Six Feet Under podcast. According to the WWE Hall of Famer, McMahon had a specific idea for how Undertaker would escape the structure, while he believed there was a much better option. “It was originally supposed to be with Khali. Khali had something going on and they had to put Big Show in the match,” Undertaker explained. He then detailed the disagreement over the finish. “Vince had this idea about, he wanted us to go through the gate or something while we were fighting, and that's how I would get out of the cage,” Undertaker said. The Deadman had another idea in mind. Rather than escaping through one of the doors, he wanted to create a spectacular visual by jumping from the inner structure to the outer cage. “I had the idea that I wanted to jump from the inner cage to the outer cage and get out that way. I thought, man, that'll be such a cool visual. I said, ‘They won't expect it. It'll look amazing.’” However, McMahon ultimately rejected Undertaker's idea and insisted that the match be performed according to his original plan. Undertaker admitted that he eventually stopped arguing with McMahon, although he made his feelings about the decision very clear. “I don't want to hear anything else about it. This is the way we're gonna do it,” McMahon told him, according to Undertaker. “Fine. It's gonna suck, and when it sucks, it's gonna be on you,” Undertaker recalled telling McMahon. After the match took place, Undertaker felt the finish had failed to deliver the impact he had envisioned. He said the moment was essentially “whomp, whomp, whomp, whomp,” describing how flat he believed the spot had come across. But Undertaker didn't need to remind McMahon that he had disagreed with the decision. According to Undertaker, McMahon eventually acknowledged it himself. “I go back and I just looked at him. I didn't have to say a word,” Undertaker recalled. “He knew and he goes, almost under his breath, he goes, ‘Eh, yeah, I think you were right on that cage spot.’” Undertaker said McMahon immediately walked away after making the admission. For the WWE legend, the moment was particularly significant because of how rarely McMahon acknowledged being wrong. “But that was such a victory for me to actually have him admit that he was wrong on something. Didn't happen very often,” Undertaker said. The Undertaker also explained that the story was not an isolated example of creative disagreements between the two. Despite working together for roughly three decades, he said their visions for WWE's product and business were sometimes “polar opposites.” The Punjabi Prison Match itself became one of WWE's most unusual match concepts. The original structure featured two bamboo enclosures, with competitors required to escape both structures to win. The Undertaker ultimately became the first winner of the stipulation at The Great American Bash 2006. The match was later used twice more in WWE, with Batista facing The Great Khali in 2007 and Randy Orton facing Jinder Mahal in 2017. However, for Undertaker, the lasting memory of the original Punjabi Prison Match appears to be less about the unusual stipulation itself and more about the rare occasion when he finally heard Vince McMahon admit that his creative idea had been the better one.
